Why use Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is an ancient system of healing that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It focuses on prevention of disease and the maintenance of health by creating balance in the body on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Knowledge of Ayurveda allows one to create balance of the mind, body and spirit according to one's unique constitution. Many factors, both internal and external, can disrupt this natural state of balance, which leads to disease in the body. The teachings of Ayurveda help us to gain a greater understanding of the factors that disrupt this natural balance. Once these factors are understood, we can eliminate or minimize the causes of imbalance, bringing the body back to a state of health.
Ayurveda uses several techniques to assess the health of the individual by evaluating the signs and symptoms of disease and their relation to the origin of the imbalance. This is done through questioning, observation and physical examination. There is no one size fits all approach to healing in Ayurveda, rather we look at your unique mind-body type, diet and surrounding environment to assess your needs and identify what is needed to regain health and vitality. Details are important to us - there’s more to just asking if you have recurring headaches or pain in the body. We will ask the location of the pain, if it is stationary or mobile, if it is a dull or sharp pain, and more. Same thing with energy levels - there is a lot of insight as to what time of the day you have lower energy or feel depleted.
Once an assessment has been made, you will be educated on specific dietary, lifestyle and herbal recommendations that will hep bring the body back to a state of balance. Most symptoms and illnesses stem from the gut - our second “brain.” Ayurveda provides a guideline to what foods to eat to bring us back to balance - to correct imbalances due to past habits or use of certain medications, to properly transition between seasons, etc. Instead of focusing on restrictions, you can focus on what to eat while avoiding certain foods that trigger symptoms or illnesses. Proper nutrition is key to many things. And we won’t push many supplements or herbal remedies because that can be too taxing to the liver.
We will teach you more about basic Ayurvedic principles, your daily internal body clock, how changed in the seasons can impact your wellness and to bring you back to balance, and a lot more. Instead of surviving and coping with health symptoms, you will learn how to thrive with specific preventative healthcare and wellness technics/tools you can use for the rest of your life.

FAQs
Why choose me as your practitioner? What makes me unique?
My priority is to provide you the best care possible while establishing a trauma-informed environment where you can heal and get better without frustration or overwhelm.
I will absolutely listen to you - you are your own advocate and sometimes health issues are not tangible or visible. Identifying these issues and root causes is crucial in getting your body to your original, balanced state.
I am trained in tongue analysis. The tongue alone can tell me a lot about the state of your internal organs, certain imbalances you may have in specific parts of your body, certain health issues you currently have. It sounds so odd but is very true!
I take a very integrative and holistic approach. Instead of looking at specific parts of the body, I look at the whole body - mind, body, spirit. Health issues typically stem from the gut and spread out over time. Using biocharacteristic and pathogenesis, I am able to map out root causes of certain issues you are having and get to the bottom of root causes.
I am cross-trained in several disciplines to give you the best possible care. I am well-versed in different comprehensive, alternative medicine modalities.
Do you accept HSA?
Depending on your provider, you should be able to use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for Ayurvedic Medicine appointments, holistic health care and products without a letter of medical necessity from your doctor if it is for a specific health issue and not for general wellness. Please check to see if you need get a letter of medical necessity and/or need a superbill.
Do you accept insurance?
Short answer, no. Certain “natural” suggestions like lifestyle and diet are not recognized by insurance, which is why we are not covered by insurance.
Can you help me diagnose a medical condition?
No! I am not a licensed medical doctor or therapist and cannot diagnose nor treat any medical or mental health conditions. I am legally obligated to say that I cannot replace medical care, mental health care or advice from licensed professionals.
However, getting to the root causes and treating the symptoms is very important, and that is what I do. Names and labels are just that - your health issues are unique so your care is personalized to address what is causing your specific symptoms.
When can I expect to see any improvements?
You may see some improvements within a week with small lifestyle and dietary changes. For some symptoms or other issues and imbalances that you’ve had for a longer amount of time, it may take a little longer to see improvements. Clients are often more shocked at how slight adjustments and changes have helped them overall! Please remember that like everything else in life, making changes to better your health can be hard work. You must make a commitment to some changes (baby steps for those who get overwhelmed easily). I can’t make any promises or guarantees - there’s no “magic pill” type solution to health and wellness - however if you are willing to put work into following my recommendations, you should see improvements!
